For insurance brokers
The risk changed in April. You found out at renewal. Or at claim.
Your client won a contract three times the size of anything they’ve done. They picked up a safety prosecution. They recalled a product. Their licence changed class.
Every one of those changes what they need covered. Every one was public the week it happened. And the first you heard was a claim that didn’t fit the policy.
Catchwind tells you when it happens.
What lands in your inbox
Business status
ABN and GST registrationNational
You hear when a client’s ABN is cancelled, their GST registration starts or stops, or they add or drop a trading name, so you are not caught out at BAS or tax time.
Company registerNational
You find out when a client company changes name or status, or is heading for deregistration, often before the client thinks to tell you.
Names and structure
Business namesNational
A new business name often means a new product, shop or side business. A cancelled one can mean something has closed. Either is a reason to check in.
Licences and registrations
Financial services and credit licencesNational
If a client’s financial services or credit licence changes or ends, you hear about it, because it changes what the business is allowed to do.
Queensland building licences (QBCC)QLD
For builder and trade clients you hear when their licence classes or financial category change. The financial category is a turnover story in itself.
Regulator action
ACCC fines, undertakings and announcementsNational
If a client is named by the ACCC, you hear about it early and can help before the costs and the headlines grow.
ASIC action announcementsNational
If a client is named in an ASIC release, you hear it from us, not from the newspaper.
ASIC banned and disqualified organisationsNational
You hear if a client, or a business your client deals with, is added to ASIC’s banned list.
Visa sponsor sanctionsNational
If a client that sponsors visa workers is penalised, you hear about it and can help with the fines and the staffing impact.
Contracts and grants
Federal government contractsNational
You hear when a client wins a government contract, often a big change to their income, staff and insurance needs.
Safety and environment
NSW food safety penaltiesNSW
If a NSW food client is fined or prosecuted, you hear about it and can help with the costs.
Pollutant reporting sitesNational
You see which clients have sites that report emissions, useful for environmental, insurance and funding conversations.
Product and food recallsNational
A recall costs money and can lead to claims. You hear when a client has one, so you can help with the numbers and the insurance.
SafeWork NSW prosecutions and undertakingsNSW
If a client is prosecuted or signs an undertaking in NSW, you hear about it and can help plan for fines and costs.
Victorian EPA licences and noticesVIC
If a Victorian client gets an EPA notice or a licence change, you hear about it and can help with the costs.
Property and planning
Logan development applicationsQLD
A development application usually means a big project and a big spend. You hear when a client lodges one or gets a decision.
How it plays out
The cover that fit the contract.
Monday’s digest: Sample Civil has been awarded a $412,000 federal contract. You call before the work starts. Limits reviewed, certificates issued, a bigger policy written, and a client who thinks you read minds.
The recall you heard about first.
An alert: a product recall naming Sample Foods. You’re on the phone that morning about notification and what the policy responds to, not three weeks later when the costs are already spent.
The prosecution nobody disclosed.
SafeWork NSW publishes a prosecution against a client. You know before renewal, so the disclosure conversation happens on your terms and not the insurer’s.
The licence that changed the risk.
A builder’s QBCC licence class changes. Different work, different exposure. You review the program before they start the first job under it.
The new venture with no cover.
A new business name registered to a client’s ABN. A second business, trading uninsured. One call fixes that.
